💭 Museum Shower Thoughts: We call them "artifacts." The people who owned them just called them "my stuff."

Last chance to see Acrylic International! This is your last chance to see the Kenosha Public Museum’s 3rd Acrylic International Biennial Juried Exhibition, featuring 45 works by talented artists that showcase the creativity & versatility of acrylic painting. Closes Sunday, Nov 8.

Overheard in the galleries: “I didn’t know it moved!” In the 1930s Kenosha saved the Old Post Office from demolition for just $1. Workers lifted it 14 ft and moved it 2 blocks! In 1937, it opened as the original Kenosha Art & Historical Museum. Today, it’s home to DDM!

💭 Museum Shower Thoughts: Nothing makes you feel younger than being surrounded by objects that are millions of years old.

ONE WIN away from the World Series! ⚾💛💙 See a piece of Brewers history at the Civil War Museum: a 1918 jersey on display in our upstairs window gallery through the end of October!

💭 Museum Shower Thought: You can walk into a museum knowing nothing about a subject and leave knowing just enough to correct someone.

Art For All Family Day! Sat, October 10 | 12–2pm Come make some art at the Kenosha Public Museum! Inspired by the artists of all abilities in the L’Arche Community, you're invited to explore the exhibit, meet the artists, and get hands-on with clay, printmaking, and sculpture.

💭 Museum Shower Thought: Skeletons. Things preserved in jars. Dead spiders, insects, and scorpions. Maybe museums are more Halloween-appropriate than haunted houses. 🎃

💭 Museum Shower Thoughts: If they say "I don't really do Museums"...red flag.
